Yes indeed.  My entire GUI is supported by only 3.1 Mb of code.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
